Is it possible that while loading the drive i can launch the application..??? Not really possible. The connection between IOKit and user space is not really designed for drivers to "push" stuff into user space. The normal pattern is for user space to connect to drivers (and for a lot of reasons that's a really good thing). Their was some talk of allowing drives to have secondary app for configuration and the like, but that was a long time ago and I think the general consensus was that it was a bad idea. In any case, it's not something the system supports today. I have to go back to my original question- what exactly are you trying to do? If your trying to prevent IOKit from doing something, you really need to be in the kernel. Based on what you've posted so far the technique your trying to use isn't going to work. The system simply isn't designed to work that way. -- ______________________________________________________ Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud.
